Has anyone had negative outcomes from Mephaquin Mondays?

I was prescribed Primaquine. I took it for a few weeks, but stopped because of the nightmares. I kept taking Doxycycline though.

After day 3 I had blisters all over my tongue

After retirement, I did contract work in Africa for 10 years, training battalions for peacekeeping deployments. Because I actually preferred Mefloquine over doxy and other treatments, I took Mefloquine for 5 or 6 years until nobody would give it to me any more. However, now a few years later, it seems that it may be linked to developing neuropathy in my feet and legs. Seems that it may be linked to neurological problems. I wish I would have known that back then. Some days they burn so bad I just want to make it stop.

No, but I DID have a negative reaction to a polio vaccine back in '02.

I have never gotten this drug but I can honestly say I have heard so many horror stories from battle buddies in my unit that have, and that shit is not no joke it messed them up for a while if not permanently in ways.

Im getting 70% disability through the VA due to mefloquine toxicity. My brain chemistry is all screwed up. All sorts of mental issues now.

In the the Nam we took malaria pill every monday morning formation. By noon time latrines were full. Most guys got the runs never had any effect on me.

They gave us anti-malaria pills for a deployment to Ecuador. I got horrific stomach pains. It was the dry season in Manta so I quit taking them. We all did.
Then one day, one of the airmen came into the office pale, shaking, and doubled over. He was in the fetal position on our couch. We called the flight doc. For a few days I was a little worried that maybe I made my decision in haste, especially after the DO said, "make sure you're taking the malaria pills." Then we found out the airmen in question just had a really bad case of the s****. I never took the pills again. I never contracted malaria either.

Yes. I've taken it for about four or five deployments, and for extended periods of time. Last time was in 2013 over an 8 month period. I developed vertigo pretty bad. Became more emotional, lost my patience pretty easily , got easily angered, and have trouble recalling things/memory loss. I finally got seen for PTSD, and was told that while I may show some signs, they believe that my issues are not psychological and are indicating the symptoms are all due to the mefloquine I took. It's in my medical record, but there is no form of treatment being provided for long term care. I'm curious as to how the VA will deal with this.
